About Me

According to the Chinese calendar, I was born the year of the Goat ( and for some reason I really like that song by Cake "Sheep go to Heaven, Goats go to Hell" )...I guess I could say I'm a Francophile ( I used to teach French but now I'm not a teacher anymore and I miss it sometimes.) I've lived in SLC most my life, except for when I lived in Brussels for 1.5 years and in Buenos Aires for 1 year ( both places as a student ) and I have traveled pretty far including Morocco and Mongolia ( when it comes to riding camels, I have found that 2 humps are better than one... ) I suppose that even though I am approaching the 20th anniversary of my last painting spree, I still consider myself an Artist.
